Charles de Gaulle

France has lost the battle but she has not lost the war.

When I want to know what France thinks, I ask myself.

For glory gives herself only to those who have always dreamed of her.

Whoever grows angry amid troubles applies a drug worse than the disease and is a physician unskilled about misfortunes.

I have more in common with a three-toed sloth or a one-eyed pterodactyl or a Kalamata olive than I have with Winston Churchill.

I studied international relations and economics at the University of Virginia. I paid my way by working as a bartender in the summer and at three part-time jobs during the year.
